House OKs Bill With Cyber-Security Funding 
Brian Krebs and Robert MacMillan, Newsbytes, 11/15/2001
<a href="http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/172166.html">http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/172166.html>

The House of Representatives today passed a spending bill that contains
funding for a raft of cyber-security and online crime-fighting
initiatives. 
The House voted 411-15 to approve the Commerce-Justice-State (CJS)
appropriations bill, a 2002 spending package that includes funding for
programs to fight cyber-crime, child pornography, and intellectual
property theft. The package also includes money for technology research
programs. 
The bill directs U.S. attorneys to provide a total of $10 million for
cyber-crime and enforcement against intellectual property violations,
such as software piracy. 
It also includes a dramatic boost in funding for the Commerce
Department's Advanced Technology Program, which provides support for
moving experimental technologies from the laboratory into the
marketplace. 
The Bush administration had promised to cease funding for the $200
million program, but the conference CJS bill includes $184.5 million for
the ATP, rather than the $13 million as proposed in the House bill and
$204.2 million as proposed in the Senate bill. In fact, the program will
enjoy even more funding than last year, due to a carryover of $33
million from fiscal year 2000 that brings the total available funding
for ATP to $218 million for 2002. 
The CJS bill provides roughly $55 million to fund several Justice
Department programs at their current funding levels, including $1.5
million for the Center for Rural Law Enforcement Technology, which
includes funding for facial recognition devices and DNA research. 
The conference agreement adopts House language and funding levels for
several Justice programs, including $9.2 million worth of computer
equipment, forensic research and an instant background check system for
the White Collar Crime Information Center. 
The bill also earmarks $6.5 million for the Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force, a Justice Department program designed to beef up
law enforcement investigations into child pornography. 
It also includes $22.9 million for the Missing Children Program, $2.3
million of which will fund the CyberTipline and Exploited Child Unit. 
The CJS conference report must be approved by the Senate before heading
to the White House for the president's signature.
